Sibiu and Surroundings: Transylvania's Heart of Tradition and Adventure
Step into a fairy tale in Sibiu, a vibrant medieval city in the heart of Transylvania. With its colorful squares, unique architecture, and preserved historical sites, the city is a living museum. Yet, the experience doesn't end in the Old Town. Just beyond the city walls lies a vast landscape of snow-capped peaks, verdant forests, and traditional Saxon villages waiting to be explored.
Sibiu: A city with personality
Large and Small Squares (Piața Mare and Piața Mică): Walk through Sibiu's historic heart, which features centuries-old buildings, cafes, and restaurants. Don't miss the Council Tower (Turnul Sfatului) for a panoramic view of the city.
Bridge of Lies: Take a picture of this iconic landmark. Legend has it that the bridge will creak and shake if a liar crosses it.
ASTRA Museum: This open-air museum is one of the largest in Europe and showcases traditional Romanian life, featuring over 400 buildings and 10 kilometers of alleys.
"The City with Eyes": Notice the unique, eye-like dormer windows on the roofs of many houses in the city. They are a signature feature of Sibiu's Old Town.
Description:
The cuisine of southern Transylvania is a mosaic that reflects the multicultural gastronomic and cultural influences of the populations and various trends in society.
In our region, we have 11 different cultural influences: on the one hand, those of those who lived here (Romanians, Saxons, Hungarians, Armenians, Hebrews, and Roma), on the other hand, influences of surrounding, regional or historical powers and authorities (Austrian, Turkish, Russian, French, and Greek).
